| summary= The '''Ria de Cedeira''' is a gorgeous, well sheltered anchorage, situated on the coast of [[NW Spain]] around 20 miles NE of the major port of [[La Coruna]]. Its position makes it convenient as a stopover either waiting for fair weather to round Cabo Ortegal or as a first stop after crossing the Bay of Biscay. The town itself is small but attractive and is popular with local Spanish tourists. The bay is sheltered and ringed with dense groves of eucalyptus trees. The Ria has no proper harbour, just a long breakwater used by commercial ships, but offers a wide anchorage off the town on its E side which offers good shelter in virtually any conditions. It also boasts some excellent beaches on its E and S sides. Cedeira is, however, not the best place if you want excitement or require any work on the boat.

The prevailing NW winds blow straight down in to the Ria and can raise a nasty swell in the outer part if they are strong.  Once in the E part of the Ria, the swell reduces and the anchorage off the town experiences very little of the prevailing winds.  Fog can be a problem, as it is along most of this coast.

The entrance is straightforward and should be possible in all weather conditions. There are, however, some isolated offshore rocks around half a mile off the coast both to the N and S, but these should not present any problems as long as a yacht keeps well offshore. There is also a potentially dangerous rocky reef almost in the centre of the Ria just under a mile from the entrance, which should be left well to starboard.

The Ria de Cedeira is a gorgeous, well sheltered anchorage, situated on the coast of NW Spain around 20 miles NE of the major port of La Coruna. Its position makes it convenient as a stopover either waiting for fair weather to round Cabo Ortegal or as a first stop after crossing the Bay of Biscay. The town itself is small but attractive and is popular with local Spanish tourists. The bay is sheltered and ringed with dense groves of eucalyptus trees. The Ria has no proper harbour, just a long breakwater used by commercial ships, but offers a wide anchorage off the town on its E side which offers good shelter in virtually any conditions. It also boasts some excellent beaches on its E and S sides. Cedeira is, however, not the best place if you want excitement or require any work on the boat.

Weather

The prevailing NW winds blow straight down in to the Ria and can raise a nasty swell in the outer part if they are strong. Once in the E part of the Ria, the swell reduces and the anchorage off the town experiences very little of the prevailing winds. Fog can be a problem, as it is along most of this coast.

List popular passages/routes, timing, etc.

Communication

Navigation

The entrance is straightforward and should be possible in all weather conditions. There are, however, some isolated offshore rocks around half a mile off the coast both to the N and S, but these should not present any problems as long as a yacht keeps well offshore. There is also a potentially dangerous rocky reef almost in the centre of the Ria just under a mile from the entrance, which should be left well to starboard.

The best anchorage is halfway between the long sandy beach close to the town and the breakwater about a mile W of the beach.

Note: that the silt is carried down by the river that runs through the town has created shoals extending for over half a mile from the N end of the beach, which is why most yachts tend to anchor closer to the breakwater.

In settled weather, the S end of the beach is a good anchorage and it is quieter here than the main anchorage. Depths in both anchorages are 5.0 – 8.0 metres and the holding is good in sand.
